Not that expensive.. especially when you tell them most of these 500 people
will be renting rooms there.

You can.  Just gotta negotiate :)

OK, 15 slaves @ $10/hr * 16 hours (2x8) = $2400, or $4.80 per attendee.

50 slaves @ $10/hr * 16 hours = $16.00 per attendee.  That's one personal
assistant for every 10 people. :)
